Parents Magazine
Reviews and Complaints

I am complaining that I keep getting a parents magazine that I never subscribed too. I don't even have little kids, so I don't even need a magazine like this. Im sick of scams. It needs to stop.

can some one give me a number for parents magazine i am fifteen and getting their magazine that i never subscribed for and their sites says that i am not in their when i try to unsubscribe please help!

I NEVER ordered this magazine! I have contacted PARENTS magazine to notify them that I did not order they're magazine, twice now, the first time was online, and the second was put in writing and sent by mail to the subscription department .
Obviously that didn't work because it turned up once again in my mailbox! I never ordered this magazine, or any magazine for that matter! I am going to report this to the Postmaster at my post office, as well as the BBB. It is obvious that there is a very bad problem here with people being charged for a magazine they DID NOT order. Worst of all the fraudulent business practices this magazine has to keep sending there magazine and adding years to the subscription period. Unlike other magazine companies, if they don't receive payment after the first issue they won't send any more magazines. That is not the case obviously with PARENTS magazine, they just add another year or two to the UN-ORDERED subscription and expect payment from the poor victim who never ordered there magazine in the first place!

i never order any magazine .i been charge with out my $58.50 through debit.i call my bank ask for help, and trying to explain what is happening.the y told me that my money is still on pending, so i have to wait until they take my money then give them a call back. it's pretty sad that your owe bank cant even protect you from this low life that robing you. i will call my bank back again trying to get my money back, by the way i'm banking with CHASE. I HOPE EVERYBODY WILL GET THE MONEY BACK.

Please stop sending me this magazine immediately. Our child is too old for this magazine. I don't recall ever signing up for it. Thank you for addressing this issue immediately.

BAIT AND SWITCH ALL THE WAY! AVOID THIS MAGAZINE LIKE THE PLAGUE! THEY UNKNOWINGLY SIGNED ME UP FOR SOME EARLY MOMENTS BOOK CLUB WHICH I DID NOT WANT! THEY ARE NOW BILLING ME AND TRYING TO RUIN MY CREDIT.
BAD BUSINESS PRACTICE PARENTS MAGAZINE! SHAME ON YOU!

In a survey, I may have selected "yes" for receiving free information from Parents.com. However, I never agreed to anything that would cost money. The next thing I knew, I had an e-mail from Parents.com thanking me for my order and informing me that I was being billed $12.00.

I ordered a subscription for 3 years for Parents magazine, and was charged (I had proof on my bank statement and everything, including the fact it said thank you for your subscription right after I submitted all my credit card information etc) but I never received the first magazine. They took my money, and when I called them over 2 months later, the rude woman in customer service gave me a bad attitude and snapped that I should send her a fax (which I am unable to do) of my bank account statement that I submitted payment to so then she snapped that she can give me an address to send payment information to. Uh, what? It was ordered right on their website, it said payment sent and received, I had the statement the RECEIPT from THEIR website stating it was paid ih full, I had my own bank account to prove it was paid, and yet she would not believe me or could not find anywhere in their system or my account that payment had been received? That makes no sense. how did that get screwed up? She claimed it showed they never received the payment (I knew darn well they did over 2 months ago). Anyway, rather than argue with her because she was being so extremely snotty, rude and unhelpful, I simply asked why did I have to go through more trouble just for a subscription through them? Isn't there a way to show in their system that a payment was received off my card through my account? She said she did not know. That was the best explanation she could give me. She was so rude and nasty about it, too, though, which bothered me. Anyway, I am going to have to now endure the extreme headaches of trying to pry my money back from them because sorry but a magazine is not worth all this trouble, and are they also going to screw something else up in the mean time? I ordered 3 years of subscriptions, so I don't want to pay that much money and risk having them charge me 3 years but only send me 12 magazines or something . . . How unprofessional. Their customer service is horrendous. You cannot get a hold of anyone either, it takes FOREVER just to get a real person on the phone to help you. They screwed up and yet it was my fault, my problem, and I had to go through all the headache of PROVING to them what they already KNEW? I don't think so. Go with a different magazine. Skip Parents completely. Not worth it at all. I will NEVER get magazines from them ever.

I completely agree! The same happened to me! I renewed my subscription for parents magazine and end up being a member of this book club. I don't like the books and now I have the hassle and cost of shipment (both ways) and of cancelling the membership. I will not sign up with parents magazine again!
